| ~ Edward Kenway. |
| “ | For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. Yet when I turn around, and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me. | „ |
| ~ Edward Kenway remorsefully reflecting on his life as a pirate. |
Edward James Kenway is a major protagonist in the Assassin's Creed franchise, serving as the titular overarching protagonist of the Kenway Saga.
He was a Welsh privateer in the British Navy and was stationed in the West Indies. However, a quick end to the war and the promise of gold, glory and fame eventually seduced him into a life of piracy; it was during this quest that Edward first encountered the Assassin and Templar Orders and became embroiled in their struggle. He later became a member of the Assassin Brotherhood after losing most of his friends due to a pirate's life. He is the father of Haytham Kenway, the grandfather of Connor Kenway, and an ancestor of both William and Desmond Miles.
He is voiced by Matt Ryan.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
In General[]
- He is a loving family man who takes great care of his wife and children.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag[]
- He participated in a conspiracy between high—ranking Templars in the British and Spanish Empires, who, hiding behind anti-piracy actions in the Caribbean, wanted to find a Sage - later turned out to be Bartholomew Roberts, who is the only one who can lead them to the Observatory, a device of the First Civilization that can monitor any person anywhere in the world when he is given a blood sample, and the Templars were going to use the Observatory to spy and blackmail world leaders.
- He kills the traitorous assassin Duncan Walpole, and seeing an opportunity to make a profit, Edward takes Walpole's place.
- He was forced to pursue the Sage and the conspirators from the Yucatan Peninsula to Jamaica. Eventually, Edward catches up with Roberts on the island of Principe off the African coast.
- He tried to prevent the Templars from using the situation of the collapse of Libertalia for their own purposes, but to no avail.
- After Roberts' betrayal, Edward escapes and joins the Order of Assassins.
- He pursues and kills Roberts and the Templar conspirators, after which he finds the artifact and returns it to the Observatory, sealing it forever, and thereby preventing the villains from spying and blackmailing world leaders.
- He was saddened by the death of his wife, and after all his adventures, he returned to England, where he was reunited with his family, but before that, promising A-Tabai that he would continue to fight the Templars at home.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Even before becoming an assassin, he was too lethal and cruel for an NPG, and more often than not kills his victims in very cruel ways, although most of them deserve it.
- He is a jerk towards allies and enemies alike.
- Being a pirate, he was very greedy, reckless, and anti-heroic, because the profit from his work is most often important to him, and he commits some of his actions from this. Though it can be noted that most of this has been toned down and subverted as the story progressed.
